Why Humans Crave Altered States
In this episode, Mike digs into what anthropologists found after studying altered states across 400+ societies, why your brain can start moving toward relief before you even pour a drink, and how to tell the difference between a habit that enhances your life and one that has quietly become a requirement. From music and movement to the five o’clock pull toward a drink, this episode offers a different way to understand what you’re actually looking for when the urge hits.CONNECT WITH SUNNYSIDE:Listen to Journey to the Sunnyside Podcast: https://bit.ly/4bxCqT3Subscribe to Sunnyside’s YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3zuoID4Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joinsunnyside/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joinsunnyside/Twitter: https://x.com/joinsunnysideTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joinsunnysideABOUT SUNNYSIDE: Sunnyside is the #1 alcohol health app that helps you drink less without any shame, guilt, or pressure to quit.

Dr. Jeffrey Egler is the Chief Medical Officer at Noom, where he helps lead the company’s expansion from weight loss into healthy aging and longevity. In this conversation with Sunnyside co-founder and CEO Nick Allen, Dr. Egler breaks down what “living better, longer” actually means, and why the future of health may be less about waiting for disease and more about building health earlier.

The Breathwork Reset for Stress, Shame, and Anxiety w/ Jon Paul Crimi
Jon Paul Crimi is a former celebrity trainer and sober coach turned breathwork teacher who has worked with CEOs, Olympians, and Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy winners. In this episode, Jon Paul shares how his own struggles with addiction, identity, anger, and shame led him to breathwork, and why that first experience changed everything. He and Mike talk about emotional detox, the feelings we push down, and why so many of our habits, including drinking, can become ways to escape what we haven’t fully processed. Jon Paul also explains circular breathwork, why it can feel so powerful, and how breathwork can help release stress, anxiety, shame, and emotional buildup in a way that talking alone sometimes can’t reach.CONNECT WITH SUNNYSIDE:Listen to Journey to the Sunnyside Podcast: https://bit.ly/4bxCqT3Subscribe to Sunnyside’s YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3zuoID4Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joinsunnyside/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joinsunnyside/Twitter: https://x.com/joinsunnysideTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joinsunnysideABOUT SUNNYSIDE: Sunnyside is the #1 alcohol health app that helps you drink less without any shame, guilt, or pressure to quit.

When Relief Is a Terrible North Star
In this 10 Minute Monday, I’m talking about something I had to admit in my own life: sometimes the drink at the end of the day isn’t really about the drink. It’s about the need to shut off, exhale, and feel like the day is finally over. I’ll share why that kind of relief can start to cost more than it gives, and how to think differently about what you’re actually looking for in that moment.CONNECT WITH SUNNYSIDE:Listen to Journey to the Sunnyside Podcast: https://bit.ly/4bxCqT3Subscribe to Sunnyside’s YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3zuoID4Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joinsunnyside/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joinsunnyside/Twitter: https://x.com/joinsunnysideTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joinsunnysideABOUT SUNNYSIDE: Sunnyside is the #1 alcohol health app that helps you drink less without any shame, guilt, or pressure to quit.

Why Some Kava Works and Some Doesn’t w/ Morgan Smith
Join me for a conversation with Morgan Smith of Kalm with Kava, as he speaks from his farm in Hawaii about why people can have such different experiences with kava. Morgan has spent more than a decade studying the plant and working directly with growers, and in this episode he breaks down what kava is actually meant to do, why quality matters so much, and how to avoid misleading or low-quality products. We also talk about where kava may fit for someone trying to drink less, and where it may not. If you’ve been curious about kava but unsure what to trust, this episode will give you a much clearer lens.Important note: Kava is a popular drink that people many people use for its calming effects. Please do your own research before trying kava. While we are fans of things that help people drink less alcohol, we also want you to be careful and mindful of anything you put in your body. By our own research, kava is generally considered very safe and non-addictive, but any substance can be habit forming over time. ❤️CONNECT WITH SUNNYSIDE:Listen to Journey to the Sunnyside Podcast: https://bit.ly/4bxCqT3Subscribe to Sunnyside’s YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3zuoID4Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joinsunnyside/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joinsunnyside/Twitter: https://x.com/joinsunnysideTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joinsunnysideABOUT SUNNYSIDE: Sunnyside is the #1 alcohol health app that helps you drink less without any shame, guilt, or pressure to quit.

When Better Starts Feeling Boring
A few months into drinking less, something happened that caught me off guard. Things got better, then better became normal, and normal started feeling a lot flatter than I expected. In this episode, I talk about why that can be such a vulnerable moment, and why people sometimes drift back right when things are actually going well. If you’ve ever thought, I thought this would feel better than this, this one’s for you.CONNECT WITH SUNNYSIDE:Listen to Journey to the Sunnyside Podcast: https://bit.ly/4bxCqT3Subscribe to Sunnyside’s YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/3zuoID4Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joinsunnyside/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joinsunnyside/Twitter: https://x.com/joinsunnysideTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@joinsunnysideABOUT SUNNYSIDE: Sunnyside is the #1 alcohol health app that helps you drink less without any shame, guilt, or pressure to quit.
